it's Hydro City, Japanese manual confirms

I'm not privy to the specifics. I can only assume an agreement was formed to use it unedited. That's a Disney thing too though. It has definitely been dealt with as of KHI.5+II.5, since it was released digitally. Considering CC was never released digitally I assume the contract with Gackt was more binding. An even bigger deal now because the PS4 requires a digital version of a game to be released. Besides all that, I just known Gackt is infamous for being a part of projects and then because he was involved they become impossible to rerelease.

porting a game is cheap. licensing a popular japanese star just to be able to release it again? not cheap. and Genesis isn't just voiced by him, he uses Gackt's likeness, and composed two songs for the game. Issues all around. Probably the same reason Dirge of Cerberus won't see the light of day again.

I haven't played it, but eveyrone seems to adore the trails of cold steel games. there's also the obvious final fantasy stuff. FF13 is hit or miss, but 13-2 is a bg improvement and lightning returns is a cool unique game. I wouldn't recommend FF15. Even if you like it, at this point it's better to just wait for them to finish it. There's the remasters of FF10 and FF12 as well. FF12 might be a bit hard to get into, but it's excellent. FFX is more beginner friendly but maybe a bit basic and dated. There's Ni No Kuni, though I hear that game gets worse partway through. I neer made it very far, but it's definitely high quality from what I've experienced. World of Final Fantasy is an excellent throwback

Because of Gakt. Aka the guy who voiced Genesis. He's infamous for this sort of thing, he's been in a bunch of high profile projects and made them too expensive to rerelease.

it's the best KH movie

pepperoni

stay safe

honestly because of how KH3 seems to work it's hard to tell what anything is

Days is the worst KH game period

well, it's not that clear cut with Namine, considering Kairi's body was present and accounted for in KH1. Namine was created by Sora releasing his heart, that's presumably why she looks different while other Nobodies don't the specifics have yet to be elaborated on though

the same reason riku looks like xehanort. there is no reason unless nomura says there is in the next game otherwise it's like poetry, it rhymes

there's no reason not to refight bosses, and COM's biggest weakness is having no challenges to put your mastery of the mechanics to use on

the most important thing to do it prepare to be disappointed, because even with the entire 15 expanded universe under your belt the story will be disjointed and unsatisfying

a controversial topic to say the least

nomura said there'd be a massive ff7 remake info reveal "soon" over a year ago though if I had t guess, square was gonna show it at E3, but Sony paid them to hold off until PlayStation Experience, since they apparently "intentionally held back" at E3 to save stuff for PSE

situation commands are great in terms of finisher moves. Using Fire spells to get Firaja is simple and effective. But it's not a good replacement otherwise. The clue is in the name. They're situational. That means you have less control over your options. You can strategically drive into a form when you want to in KH2, in KH3 situation commands appear under specific conditions and are only available for a few seconds. It's an inherently more limiting system that encourages aggressive play and spam. As for dual wielding, the actual shape of Sora's attacks is irrelevant. But something dual wielding does offer that nothing else can is the ability to use two keyblade abilities at once, as well as combine their stats. I'm not sold on the substance of KH3's keyblade transformations yet, it doesn't seem to provide a huge amount of utility, and the attacks are so big and have so much lag I have my doubts about their validity under high pressure. to address your last few points. Using a situation command when you're out of MP would be a temporary solution at best, it's just one attack, and you'd have to specifically have the command ready to use when you run out of MP, and have an opportunity to use it before the timer runs out. You could already change playstyle at the press of a button using Drive Forms, but those were dedicated upgradable forms with a specific move list. That might be the case in KH3 as well, but considering the forms work more like command styles, and can't be used outside of battle, I have my doubts. Finally... I don't think there'll be a punishment for spam. If there is it'll probably be really bad. This is by and far Osaka team's weakest aspect. They punish things so hard they become useless (for example, two slot commands in BBS are worthless) or they don't punish at all leaving abilities crushingly superior (mine square, balloon, thunder surge) Since the gaemplay systems seem to be heavily based on spam I don't think there'll be a punishment. KH3 constantly throws situation commands at you, it wants you to use them as sheer power ups.

not less than other titles, DDD only has eight worlds, there's no way KH3 will have less than that. Less than KH2 I believe is what was said So let's be generous and say there are eleven Disney worlds... you think there are going to be NINE original worlds? You think Disney would want their IPs overshadowed in quantity like that? There are TEN original worlds in Kingdom Hearts' entire history, and that's including stuff like the Mirage Arena and the End of the World. Tabata lied

that's what happens when you adapt a dozen different movies with different aesthetics, licenses, and expensive voice actors

everyone who wears a black coat

there's a rainbow of colours the water can be my favourite is black

oh, they changed it in the HD version Riku can't be part of the dream because he's not a "missing part" of the world. If that was how it worked there'd be a Sora too, anyways

it wouldn't really be like KH2. Musou games are about using specific prebaked combos to beat huge swarms of enemies they're very grindy so yes they do get dull quick

that's not true. I literally looked up footage specifically to check.it unlocks after the scene the black coat thing is easy to write off, you need protection to use dark portals. Most Xehanorts have it, one way or another, Riku doesn't.
